MARTIN EL Patwk' WriHno HnnlrTroAn. issued by James the First, Quern TW Paper Jim the I.argcxt Circulation of Seeokb tob a Hbsbaot). A Dr. Bur. dell case has just beenjenacied in Philadelphia all bat the murder.

It appears that there is a woman living in the lower section of that city, who is about twenty five years of age, good looking, but whose virtue Is not of the most rigid character. She became acquainted with a retired merchant; who resides among the wealthy in Arch street, and who is the father of quite a large family, all of his children however, bDg grown up and married. The old gentleman was in the habit of visiting this woman's house, and she desirous of bettering her condition financially, as well as in reputation, induced the old man to drink sufficient liquor, drugged to render him stupid, and entirely willing to obey her instructions and hehast in every particular, Aid. Enne was then sent for by the woman, he obeyed the call, thinking that his services were required to sign a deed, or some other legal document. On entering the house he discovered that his presence was desired to perform the marriage oeremony, but he soon found that the man to be married, whom he (the Alderman) well knew was so stupid as to be unaware of the position he occupied, concluded to decline performing the duty, and for the purpose of relieving himself from the dilemma without exciting the suspicion of the woman, he stated that he would have to return to his office for the purpose of getting the marriage form and a certificate to be given to the happy parties.

The Alderman, on returning to his office, sent an officer to the son of the old man and informed him of where his father was and the critical position he was in. The son, in company with High Constable Nutt and another officer, immediately proceeded to the woman's house, and after gaining admittance got the old man out of the houae. The woman followed the party out on the pavement and endeavored to induce the old man. to return finding all her persuasions to be lost, she commenced to fight, and one of tbe officers received a very pretty black eye from her delicate fist. Obituary.

The Rev. John Feedeeick Schroe der, D. an eminent clergyman of the Episcopal Church, died on Thursday evening, at his residence in this city. The deceased was a na tivo of Baltimore, aud was educated at Princeton, N. J.

where he graduated with high honors. His first parish was on the Eastern shore of Maryland, but as the climate did not agree with him ho removed to New York, where he became attached to Trinity Church, as one of its assistant ministers, and was for a short time one of the most popular preachers of the city. He went to Europe on account of his wife's health, and returned in 1837, when for certain reasons ho did not return to the ministry, but opened a school in Flushing, L. and subsequently kept a in New Tork and was highly successful. He afterwards returned to the ministry and for about a year was in charge of St.

Thomas' Church in this city. He then retired to private life, devoting his time to literary pursuits, and was the author of the "Maxims of Washington" and Assessments, shall be held on the first Tuesday in April, 1858, and every three years thereafter the Mayor shall be elected at the Spring election in 1859, and every two years thereafter; the Street Commissioner, Collector of Taxes and Commit tsioner of Repairs and Supplies, shall be elected at the Spring election in 1860, and every three years thereafter. The terms of office of the various officers mentioned above, shall commence on tbe first Monday of May next after their election. The latter portion of the bill contemplates the improvement of Hamilton avenue by em Dowering the city authorities to levy and collect the necessary assessments therefor. ORONB NECK FARM BULKHEADS.

Mr. Smith also introduced abill which authorizes Andrew B. Hodges, of Kings county, and his heirs or assigns to construct a bulkhead at Crone Neck Farm, in the town of Brookhaven, in the county of Suffolk, which bulkhead shall commence at a point marked A on a map of said Farm, and thence west to a form marked on said map; thence south to a point marked on said map; thence easterly to a point marked on said map, which last named point is where the south line of said Crone Neck Farm strikes Long Island Sound or Smithtown Bay. The Republicans were "snubbed" to day, after a very hard fight. The Contracting Board bill was up, aud everything indicated a smooth passage for it, when a motion was made to refer it back, with instructions to amend, by requiring the Board, in (riving out the reforms of the canals, to let the contracts "to the lowest bidder.

The bill left this matter optional with the Board. After a discussion of more than two hours' duration, the motion prevailed by a majority of one, two of the newly fledged Republicans deserting their colors for the first time and going with the Democrats and Americans. THE EXCISE. In tho House this morning, Mr. Jones, from a majority of the Select Committee on Excise.sub mittcd a bill, which provides that instead of Town Board, County Judges and Justices of the County Sessions shall meet and appoint three freeholders to act as License Commissioners to grant licenses; licenses to cost from $30 to $100.

The Commissioners shall be classified, to serve two, four and six years, and every two years a new one appointed. In New York City, the Mayor, Recorder and City Judge shall make the selection. Intoxication and selling to intoxicated persons punished by $10 fine. A wife or husband may notify a seller not to let the husband or wife have liquor for six months, in cases of habitual intoxication, under penalty. Many of the old license law provisions are retained in the bill.

The bill was made tho special order for Wednesday, March 11. A SUSPENSION BRIDGE OVER THE EAST RIVER. Mr. Hanford gave notice of a bill to incorporate the New York and Brooklyn Suspension Bridge Company, the object of which is to erect a bridge over the East River Detween New York and Brooklyn in such manner as Bhall in no way obstruct navigation. The capital stock shall be $2,500,000 in shares of S25 each, and the stock may be increased to $5,000,000.

The Governor: may appoint Commissioners to locate the bridge, who shall be residents of Brooklyn and New York. The toll to be collected shall not exceed that charged by the Union Ferry Co. Had 'em at last. A young man from the 'rural districts' went to the Post Office the other day with a dollar note for a dollars worth of tage stamps. He was told that paper money was not received.

He went away, and shortly returned with four Spanish quarters. 'We don't receive them said the attendant, for more than twenty cents The countrymen thought Unale Sam mighty particular, so he went away again and obtained a dollar in coppers. said he, on returning to the office and laying down his 'pile' at tho window of the delivery, 'Igucsajcan suit The man inside looked at the display of 'specie said, 'we never take more than three cents in coppers at one time; it is not a legal tender above that The countryman looked at the composed official for the space of a minute and a half without stirrinir, and then he belched out, 'Look here, you ain' you almighty kind of particular, for fellers looked up in such a jail as this 'ere? You don't take only three cents in coppers at a time, hey? Well, then, 'spose you givo me three cents worth of stamps, The official very politely cut him off a single stamp, and passed it out for which the countryman laid down three cents. He was about to pass away, when the latter cried out, 'Look here, you Hold on That ere's one time. Now s'pose you gin me three cents worth more on Uncle Sam's clerk was not slow in discovering that he had caught a tartar.

He turned back to the window. 'How many coppers have you he asked. 'Wall, only about ninety seven of 'em I had a hundred on 'em when I Things in Albany. Albany, February 25. The Republicans passed to a third reading this morning, one of their pet schemes the bill to enlarge the powers and define the duties of the Contracting Board.

In the course of the debate, previous to the vote being taken, Mr. Upham (Republican) Btated that certain of the American State officers had secured places for their sons (who knew nothing of the business) in the Engineer's office; and also, that a few weeks before the last election there was employed by an American canal officer, a number of men for the avowed purpose and for no other of searching, the banks of the canal for rat holes They were discharged the day after election. The opposition neglected to retort to the first charge, that the example to their State officers of securing fat berths for their sons, was first given by the Republican Governor, Myron H. Clark, who was not Governor of the State one month before he had his son snugly ensconced behind one of the desks in the State Hall, with a nice salary in the perspective. The resolutions of your Common Council, relative to the removal of Quarantine, was presented this moning by Mr.

Sickles in the shape of a memorial. IIAMI1TON AV1NUE. Mr. S. also presented a memorial Bigned by many residents of the 8th and 12th wards of Brooklyn, wherein the represent that Hamilton avenue, from Gowanus Bay to Third avenue, extends over ground, the title to about two thirds of which is in the State of New York, and that the parties owning adjoining property who are entitled to pre emption rights to the same, will not, or do not, apply for their titles, and those who have them do not record them, expecting by that means to avoid assessments for benefits which they will receive by the grading and paving of said avenue.

That such being the case, the memorialists arc deprived of their rights as citizens, to pass over he streets of the citv which have been regularly opened at great expense to ourselves, and not having the benefit of said avenue, they are compelled to travel, in going and coming to and from other parts of the city, at least one half mile out of their way, to their great inconvenience and loss of time. In conclusion they say that the Common Council of Brooklyn are ready to proceed and have said avenue graded as soon as the Legislature will grant them the necessary authority to lay the assessment for the same, and build the necessary draw bridge. THE BROOKLYN BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. Mr. C.

P. Smith presented a memorial from the Common Council of your city, asking for the passage of an Act which shall provide that the real and personal estate which the Trustees and Associates of the Brooklyn Benevolent Society shall hold for the purposes for which they were incorperated by their act of incorporation, shall remain free and exempt from all taxation whatever, so long as the revenues thereof shall be disposed of according to the directions of said Act, but such exemptions shall not extend to any improvement or buildings on said real estate not used for the purposes aforesaid, nor to assessments laid upon such real estate for the purposes of local improvements. Albany, Wednesday, Feb. 25. There was a very full attendance of Senators to day, and considerable business, mostly of a local nature, however, was transacted.

An executive session, of brief duration was held at 12 o'clock. It is generally understood about the Capitol that the nomination of Dr. Thompson, as Health Officer, was confirmed. By the following resolution which was adopted to day, you will perceive that the Senate is an inquisitive body, and has laid out considerable work for the Mayor of your city, and the head executives of the other cities in the State Resolved, That the Mayors of tho several cities in this State ho requested to communicato to tho Senate at an early day a statement showing the total amount of funded debt of said cities, with a description of each issue of stock, tho rate of interest it bears and tho time when it becomes due also what further amount of stock each of said cities is authorized to issue under existing laws of the state. They are further requested to report tho estimated value of any sinking fund created to meet the payment of funded debt likewise tho assessed valuation of tho real estate, and also of the personal estate in each of sad cities.

February 26th. In the the House this morning, it being general order day, bills on the calendar were taken up in Committee of the Whole. The bill making appropriations to the state charitable institutions a part of the vetoed Supply Bill was ordered to a third reading. The proposed amendment to the Constitution so as to allow the legislature to fix by law the compensation of members of the legislature was taken up, and a vote being had it was lost. A bill was then taken up to pay the expenses of certain commissioners appointed to disburse moneys in payment of certain improvements, was then taken up and discussed till the hour of adjournment.

At the session of the House last evening, nothing of impoitance was done. Several local and private bills were acted ou in Committee of the Whole, when the Houso adjourned. The bill allowing the Tochbridge Indians io test the titles to Manorial lands in Albany RensBelaer and Columbia Counties, was stricken from the general order, which is equivalent to a rejection of the bill. This is the Anti Rent bill, which provided that if the Indians established their claim they might sell the lauds to the actual occupants for 50 cents per acre. This morning quite a number of petitions were received to regulate the ferriage between New York and Brooklyn, to regulate the occupancy of the slips in the East River, against removing the Quarantine, and for a branch at Sandy Hook and that colored persons may ride in the public conveyances of New York city.

It appears as if the "gemmen of color" are not treated exactly right in New York. They Bay they have as good money as white folks to spend, and pay as well for their accommodations and yet white folks are given the preference. The fact is, I rather think, that white folks prefer to associate with themselves, and the only way for them to secure relief is to establish conveyances especially for themselves. Let them run an opposition. Among the bills reported this morning were thr Brooklyn Collegiate Institute tbill, and the Brooklyn Board of Education The various bills mado up of the vetoed supply Bill, containing items not objected to by the Governor, were taken up by the Committee of tho whole and acted upon, but not finally disposed of.

Albany, Friday, Feb. 27. amending the charter or brodkltn. Mr. C.

Smith introduced a bill this morning, providing for an amendment of the act consolidating tho Citie3 of Brooklyn and Williamsburgh, eo that the Board of Aldermen shall on and afeer the first day of May, 1858, consist of one Alderman from each ward and at a charter election to be held on the first Tuesday in 1859, there shall be elected one, Alderman from each ward, those elected from the odd wards to hold office until the first Monday in May, 1860 those from the even wards to hold office until May, 1861 and all Aldermen elected at anysub oqutnt election shall hold office foiov. two years Those elected at the November elec in 1855, shall hold office until May, 1858, nnd those elected at the November election in 1856 until May 1859.

Tho previous existence of the 'Bible he stoutly denied. He never obtruded hisopinions but would freely converse with anybody upon tho subject. He was rather dogmatic in his tenets did any one attempt to controvert his arguments by citing the scriptures, be' would ask them how many timeH they had read the Bible hiough. Most men would not be able to sty that they had certainly rend the whole of it at all. "Well then," he would reply, "1 have read every word of the Bible carefully nine times, (we believe that is the number) and have carefully weighed every sentence, therefore 1 know more about the Bible than you do." In printing any of his productions he used to request the printers to set up the word God, not only with a small but to set it up in a smaller typo thnn the rest of the matter.

Many attributed his idiosyncracy to a misfortune which befel him in youth when his skull was fractured, und was trepanned that certain organs of hiB brain had been effected, or as phrenologists said his organ of reverence had been destroyed. The old gentleman always vehemently repudiated this idea, and cited his correct and shrewd method of transacting his business, and all his transactions in life. In business maters he certainly was straightforward and successful, and he retired a few years since with a 'handsome competence tbe proceeds of his industry. In private life he was a kind husband and father, and a firm and sincere fiiend. Though an infidel no man ever carried out more generously the Christian precept of Charity.

The poor were never turned unalmsed away from his door and his un isteutatious benevolence gladdened many a poverty stricken hearth the poor of Williamt burgh will long remember him, and invoke on his head a blessing from the God, be denied. Mr, Aldworth, was a native of England, was 79 years of age at the time of his death. He had been a residont of Williamsburgh for a number of years, and carried on the coal business at the foot of Grand street the business is now con. ducted by his son. He was respected by all who knew him as an upright and honest man, his peculiar eccentricity being generally regarded as oac of those hallucinations, which will some times afflict the best of men.

The Edinburgh Review for February has been issued by Leonard Scott No. 54 Gold street, N. Y. It opens with an instructive article on Philip the Second of Spain and his Times, being a review of Prescott and Motley's histories. Next we have a review of M.

Flourens' work on Longevity. Flourens thinks that a hundred years is the average life of man, unit si out short by the various causes that dwindle life d)wn to the shortest span. He follows out the idea of Buffon, that an animal lives five times as long as it is growing. Man is 20 years growing, and lives to five times 20 or 100. The camel is 8 years growing and lives to 40 the horse 5 years and lives to 25, But the reviewer disputes this fanciful theory and maintains that, although people occasionally live to 100 and beyond it, the circumstance is no proof that that is the average duration of human more than six feet is the natural stature because some men have grown to seven, or that four feet is the normal measure because Tom Thumb stoppci at two or three.

He thinks the Scriptural period of threescore years aud ten to be much nearer. Among the ancients there were several old stagers. The Greek philosophers make a fair show on the list. Zeno lived 102 years Demo critus 104 Pyrrho 90 Diogenes 90 Hippc orates, 99 Plato 82 Socrates 98, and his mas er Gorgius 107. But for the cup of hemlock and the sword of the Koman soldier, the 70 years of Socrates and the 75 years of Archimedes might well have reached the class of longevity.

And of the long lived females of antiquity Terentia, the wife of Cicero, lived to 103 Clodia, the wife of Ofilius, to 115. Two remarkable actresses stand on the list one of whom, Lucceia, is stated to have performed as Mima for about 100 years the other, Galeria, was brought back to the stage during games celebrated in honor of Augustus, in her 104th year, and 91 years after her first appearance. In modern times there is the case of Parr, who lived to 152, and other cases sufficient to prove that people occasionally live to 140. We find in 1852 when the population of England and Wales was 18,000,000, there died 35 males above 100, the oldest 105, and 53 females of whom three reached 106, one 107 and two 108. In the following year the register tells us of the death of 81 males and 62 females above 100.

the oldest male 109 and the oldest female 110. Sometimes longevity runs in familhs. In any rural graveyard you may see gravestones where the many early deaths recorded give evidence of feeble or diseased constitutions and others record prolonged ages from parents to offspring. Intermarriage among different families tends to prevent these inequalities. With regard to professions lawyers and judges outlive the clergy in England and the doctors are shorter lived than either.

Statesmen occasionally live long as witness Tallyrand, Mat tjrnich and Nesselrode, Lyndburet, Brougham and Landsdowne. Of scientific and literary men, there are Hobbes, Voltairo, Fontenelle, Heyne, Goethe, Newton, Kepler, Halli, all reaching from 80 to 100, and Humboldt still eminent at 87. The article concludes with some valuable suggestions, on air, exercise, food, Plenty of fresh air is necessary, and in exercise the muscles should be well used, but not se as to exhaust tlie bodily powers. In food moderation is the great requisite. The Congressional Corruphoxists.

One of the four members of Congress accused of Corruption, is not only a member of the present but he is.also a member of the next Congress. His expulsion now will only affect his position for the remainder of the present session he would still have a legal claim to his seat in the next Congress. That, however, ought not to stop the action of Congress, if they believe him guilty of the charges. They should expel him, and stamp his acts with the disgrace they deserve. It would require considerable assurance in any man to take his seat again under such circumstances, even if legally entitled to it.

We publih ed a complete copy of the bill some days ago, and we suppose every reader who feels interested in the matter has made himself acquainted with its details. We have obseivdd a paragraph iu the IKbune, approving of the scheme. Before proceeding to the general subject, we desire point public attention to a very important prevision of the act which the ibune seems to mis understand. The Fribune says, "If either Brooklyn or New York votes no, of course the whole scheme falls through." There is nothing of the kind in the law. The 18th section provides as follows "If the majority of the votc3 cast in said towns of said county of KiDgs shall be found ngaiust consolidation, linn.

then the said towns shall not bo embraced iu said consolidated city, and in case the majority of the votes cast in the sait cities shall be found for consolidation, the said cities shall be consolidated without said towns." Here it will be seen that the county towns Flatbush, New Utreclit, if they choose to vote against consolidation, will not bo consolidated; but Brooklyn has no such choice given her. If "a majority of tho votes cast io said cities," videUcU, New York and Brooklyn, shall he found in favor of consolidation, then they will be consolidated. New York has three times, moro or less, as many voters as Brooklyn; let New York vote for it, every voter in the city of Brooklyn Blight vote against it without effect. "We will be prepared to discuss the merits of the question when it comes up in a proper way; hut the question now is, not if we chose to be consolidated but whether we are to have an official garotU applied to the neck of the city while she is being chained to the triumphal car of New York This provision of the bill must be altered before any discussion takes place on the merits of the question. As long as Brooklyn is not allowed voice in a matter that affects her in the most vital part, all she has to do is to protest against file thing in limine We might remark, in reference to the arguments in the Tribune, that the political advantages accruing to either Brooklyn or New Yorl; from the residence of men who roost here and di business across the river, are very slight.

Out of the 200,000 citizens composing Brooklyn, there are 1,500, all told, who live or board here and cross to New York daily. To urge a union for the purpose of enlisting the political sympa thies of these migrating gents, is a weak argument. The share which Brooklyn is promised iu the Oroton is a great inducement at this time, when we have embarked between four and five mil lions in a plnn to secure water for ourselves, which is to be supplied at a rate not exceeding the price of Croton, and which will flow through our streets in one year from the present writing; and when it is recollected that during tho late snow storm and during every summer, the Croton ia altogether inadequate to supply the citizens of New York alone. 'I hat the consolidation would inaugurate a reform in government, is a Utopian Chimera which nobody is green enough to imagine. It would remove the seat of government still further from the control of the people and give the swindlers who pilfer New York an unlimited field of operation.

There are, of course, two sides to the question, and something might be said in favor of consolidation. But we must be excused from discussing the question um.il the project is presented in Buck a shape us to allow Brooklyn a voice in the matter. Biooklyn cannot be expected to carry on an argument with her back to the ground and a gap; ia her mouth. "Unhand me gentlemen' and then state your case. Ouxyeb writes to the Herald to contradict tfc8 Albany correspondent of that paper, who says that Culver's bill io increase his salary wnuld place it higher than any judicial officer's present pay.

Would Culvee have the goodness to inform the public if he is in the habit of re fering cases on trial in his Court to himself as referee Does E. D. Culver the Judge refer caseB to E. D. Culvee as referee, aud does E.

D. Culver the referee report them back to E. Jj. Ottlvbr the Judge for confirmation and does he pocket a large amount of fees and perquisites by this ingenious hocus pocus Let us know what his present income is. We learn, from Albany that Culver's Police Bill was before the Committee of the Legislature on cities and villages on Thursday, and that it willbe ignominiously squelched.

The bill is unconstitutional to begin with, and emanates from a quarter which would enlist against it public hostility, even if its provisions were unexceptionable. Death op a Singular Character. Yesterday morning Mr. Henry Aldworth, a well known citizen of Williamsburgh, ws found dead in his bedroom, at his residence, No. 39 Grand street.

Mr. Aldworth held unique opinions in regard to the Scriptures, he being firmly convinced that Queen Elizabeth was the author of tho Bible, and further that her Majesty wrote it, while un. der spiritual influence, not divine, bat such as in our degenerate day qualifies an individual for aberthin the Station House and a small fine. Mt. Aldworth, however, was no profane scoffer, his demeanor and language were always grave and decorous he firmly believed that the Christian world were laboring under a great delusion in regard to the Bible, which it was his duty to dispel.

He has written volumes in illustration of bis views, which he intended to publish. He has printed two or three small pamphlets, one bearing the title of "Bible drolleries," another the "Comicalities of the book Moses wrote after hewaadead." In satirising the scriptures he did it with the same intentas anovelist satirzis tho follies of the day, to correct them, and to reach the convictions of those who appreciate better than logic. The asserted authorship of the Bible he cjwoied to have discovered by his own researches, based we believe upon the fact that the "version now in use among us, was and other successful works. He was a man of eminent abilities, but owing to some peculiarities he nevtr attained the high position in the Church his capabilities would have otherwise ensured him. He leaves, however, a large circle of attached friends who mourn his loss.

His funeral takes place this afternoon from the Church of the Holy Trinity, corner of Clinton street and Montague Place. A Wholesale Forqer. A man calling himself A. H. Everett, and representing himself ob one of the editors of the St.

Louis Sun, was arrested in Wheeling on Monday last, on a charge of forgery, having passed a forged check purporting to come from Messrs. W. C. Cole Son, on Josiah Lee bankers of Baltimore, on a bank in that city also presenting a forged letter of introduction to the Mayor and otheis. When arrested he had in his hand a carpet bag in which were found six hundred and sixty dollars in gold blank checks for five or six diffeig ent banks in New York, five or six banks in Boston, five or six bonks in New Orleans, three or four in Philadelphia, two or three in Pittsburgh, five or six on the Fire and Marine Insurance Company of Chicago, a check for six hundred and forty dollars and twenty seven cents on the Manufacturers' and Mechanics' Bank of Pits burg, and marked "accepted, Wm.

H.Denny cashier." Also, a blank acceptance of a bank in New York, divers engraved certificates of stock in banks, railroads and lumber companies. A blank engraved draft of the Merchants' and Mechanics' Bank of Wheeling on the Merchants' Bank of Baltimore. Also, a number of Dutch drafts, purporting to come from some foreign Savings Institution at Pittsburg. In the case of Rufus K. Winslow vs.

John K. Woolsey, and two other cases in the Marine Court of New York, Justice Maynard yesterday decided against admitting George W. Niles to practice in that Court. Mr. Nilea had been a lawyer, but was convicted of felony and sentenced to the State Prison.

To have such a man plead in a court of justice would not add to the reputation of the tribunal. Occasionally candidates for State Prison get a scat on the bench, but they are a shame to an honorable profession. Unspeakable Atrocity. We heard yesterday of a case of crim. con.

that transpired a few days ago iu Franklin, in Warren County, attended with as many revolting circumstances and exhibiting as much depravity as any transaction of the kind that ever came to our knowledge. The female participator was the loved and respected wife of a respected citizen of the neighborhood, young, handsome, enjoying a good social position, and esteemed by all who knew her for her many wifely and womanly virtues. The male adulterer had some real or fancied cause of com plaint against the lady's husband, and to revenge himself deliberately set about the seduction of his wife. After the fiendish design was accomplished, he went to her husband and boasted of his achievement, naming time, place, so circumstantially as to force belief on the mind of his victim. The outraged husband, instead of shooting the seducer through the heart or heating him to death, took him home, confronted him with his wife, who, after repeated and persisted denials, seeing that her husband was convinced of her guilt, at length admitted her participation in the iniquity.

The result of course, is, tbat the family is broken up, perhaps for ever. The three children are torn from their mother, who is to be sent to her friends while the monster, who accomplished the ruin, instead of being summarily disposed of, as retributive justice would seem to Tequire, is still at large to boast of bis infamy JJayUm, (iV.

More "Morality." A correspondent of the Boston Timet, writing from Washington, under date of February 21st, relates the following incident that irradiates the career of one of these pattern law givers, who purpose "to suppress polygamy in Utah Quite an affair occurred this morning at one of the priucipal hotels. The wife of a member of Congress, who had been sent for to attend the Inauguration, arrived on the early morning train, a day or two before she was At her request she was immediately shown up to her husband's room, the door of which, it seems, had accidentally' been unlocked. Discovering this to be the case on knocking and turning tho knob, rhe went in. The bed in the room was not tumbled, but she recognised the doffed garments of her husband laying about the room. Seeing a door ajar, communicating with tho next room, she thought that his dormitory must be in there, and so pushed her explorations accordingly.

Tho consequence was that she found herself in a lady's bedroom, and her slumbering husband unconsciously sharing the "virtuous couch" of his fair neighbor. Her rustling presence aroused the guilty sleepers, hut without giving them time jto recover from their confusion she retired to the office and ordered her baggage and herself back to the depot. I understand that a reconciliation has been effected, the husband having persuaded the wife that b.9 was acting under "imperative medical advice," and that this was the real causa of his having sent for her. Mr. Buchanan's Inauqural Suit.

Mr. Buchanan has got his inaugural coat made by an honest Dutch tailor of Lancaster, who has patriotically stitched it with stars, representing tho thirty one States of the Union. This idea is a good one, and could only have originated in Lancaster county, where the Union is a cardinal principle with the Dutch yeomanry, who will not have it separated without tearing the whole fabric, material and workmanship, into shreds. It is also symbolical of Mr. Buchanan's administration.

With the Union stitched into tbe Democratic policy, and with the right kind of buckram in the cabinet to stiffen it, it will wear out his term, a credit to the manufacturer, a satisfaction to the wearer, and the admiraHonof the people. Philadelphia Ledger. Fatal Mistake. We learn that a sad and fatal mistake occurred in this city yesterday. Mr.

J. B. Wallace had a little son of about three years of age, who was attacked with croup. The father went to a druggist of this city and asked ior anumonuu muc, the child to relieve his sufferings. A boy in the drug store gave Mr.

Wallace "wine of opium," or probably laudanum, Instead of the medicine for which ha inquired. This was given to the child in consiaeraDio quantities, causing its death this morning. Otwego Tima..
